Rundown: You want to be tanky for endgame consistency, they do big damage w/ damage control, new/updated subs give them actual RCV, access to many powerful subs, they're strong monsters in their own right that also have utility.

New lategame has very tanky and hard hitting bosses. Teams with high survivability are good because they have the ability to stall when other teams can't. DMega and BJ both have 4x HP and DMega has a shield on top of that.

But they don't have RCV multipliers, which is where Kuroyuri, Mel, RevoI&I, etc come in. Having 2 Kuroyuri/I&I on a BJ (can use both) or DMega (much better with I&I) team upgrades their tankiness by letting them heal their huge HP pools. A single Mel often works as well, due to her heart prongs.

BJ is 144x and +2 seconds of movetime from her leader skill + she only needs fire or water attribute, so she has a large, good subpool. She also has a set of 6 different killers + an extra 7th from super awakenings and a fire/water full board change + def void.

DMega is 225x and uses God-type monsters, also a huge, good subpool. She also has VDP and 2x 7c awakenings for each leader + a dark/light full board change.

Both also have damage control since their leader skills' damage components are split into parts. BJ has a flat one + color matching. DMega has a flat one, HP conditional, and combo-based.

Upon the initial switch to the Fancy Orbs, I had considerable difficulty just recognizing the orbs as orbs. I had to pause and think to look at the board and see what was where. I've used the basic design for so long that it didn't quite register at first.

It's a consideration. Because of Mega Roots' active locking orbs, you'd need an unlocker in order to change the board he makes. Keeping a non-Mega Roots as a board changer isn't a terrible idea + the true damage may come in handy. L/D Roots also has a DEF break awakening, which is helpful against Metatrons and Predras and stuff.

So nobody wastes their time with this, Zoger and BDylan only work together they're both advisors. The armor clear on Zoger adv works before the 2b goes off. As a result, BDylan as a gold will not apply 3 stacks of Vulnerability with Zoger adv.

This basically translates to: "There are multiple forms of gender neutral pronouns, and we chose to use 'he' to refer to Izumi." Izumi doesn't have a specified gender at all. Izumi could be male or he could be female.

For those of you willing to be spoiled: Izumi is actually genderless. He isn't human, demihuman, beastman, or anything like that and is a shape-shifting immortal.

Valk. Full bind clear, excellent awakenings, and a fairly meta leader skill compared to the other two. Athena looks nice but she's not as flexible as Valk imo. Zeus is underwhelming. Also, I love the Valk series, so there's that, too.
